Bay to breakers 07
Another successful year with our photo station set up on the sidewalk. fortunately(?), there were so many people running on the sidewalk that a number of them became part of the shoot. You can see more on my blog or view the complete online gallery.
Summertime
Being short helps me get down to their level. Kids are larger than life and should be photographed as so.
